On the Venues side of VPA, we are undergoing a study with <br /> consultants to find the best management merging structure for the Morris, Palais and Century <br /> Centers. In the next eight(8)to ten(10) weeks, HPS Consulting will be working toward forming <br /> and presenting that proposed structure to us. They may be reaching out to you for feedback. Golf <br /> season is well underway and revenues are up ten percent (10%) from 2015 and up five percent <br /> (5%) over 2016. The trend is upward for us. <br /> Mr. Perri continued, About a month ago we had a presentation from Orbis Consulting in regard <br /> to Elbel Park which resulted in some recommendations on how to preserve and accentuate the <br /> environment of the course. We also went on a hike in the back of the course to see what sort of <br /> future trails could be created for hiking. We will also be looking at Erskine Golf Course. Orbis <br /> Consulting also helped us by constructing a Natural Resources Management Plan which is a <br /> system-wide management plan. This helps us with all fifty-two (52) of our properties.
